What’s the “usual case”? We scale up and down thousands of times a day.
- lelanthran 3y agoYeahz but the argument being made is that there's overhead in that, primarily in the extra Dev time needed to build such a system, and the extra failure points introduced requiring more maintenance effort. Those two items can be substantial (5x headcount), or they can be merely "standard" (2x headcount). They're never zero extra headcount.
